My Dad's cousin Josie always made these cookies around Easter time and as always they were a big hit.
Mocha Walnut Cookies
1/2 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch cocoa powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Using the paddle attachment on the electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and espresso .
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and nuts. Mix until everything is well blended and a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper .
Be sure to space cookies 2 inches apart.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until firm.
When done, carefully remove cookies to a wire cooling rack. Cool completely.
Roll the cookies in the confectioners' sugar.
Be sure to store in an airtight container.
Yields about 40 cookies
